Will Trump fire Mueller?

[Stuart G]

Part of me says .."yes" and the other part says, "He can't be that stupid" ?? The third part says, "He is that stupid..take a good look at what he has said and done.."

1. I hope so

I want the crash to be huge and spectacular enough to keep the GOP out of power for decades to follow.

[Stuart G]

3. I agree...that is what I am hoping too..."keep the GOP out of power for dacades"

2. He can't fire him directly.

4. trump is a narcissistic, vindictive man who has bullied his way...I am praying like hell he fires

Mueller. Make conservatives have to deal with that chaos as well. A great lead in for 2018

5. Many people are saying Brand will take over from Rosenstein and write a memo for Mueller's firing

9. Doing so will have to join the ranks of lawyering up.

Trump needs to find a Bork hiding under a rock among the career ranks of Justice. That could be a rare creature given given history the last 40 years.

6. He will find someone who will do it. He needs his own Bork.

7. No. He knows he would be making things far worse, more criminal charges of obstruction.

Self-preservation and all, his top concern.

8. Flip a coin. It all depends on what thought enters Trump's head.

Anymore, it's become impossible to predict anything regarding Donald Trump.

10. He fired Comey because Comey told him he was not "under investigation"...

Because he had that authority.

But if he is "under investigation", he no longer has that authority.

11. I'm leaning towards "yes"

He's behaving like a cornered animal.

12. He will try to fire Mueller and he will screw it up.

I expect Trump to fire everybody at DoJ but the janitors.
That's assuming he stays within the letter of the law.
I don't rule out an unlawful power play.

[Stuart G]

13. I got to say...what you have said makes a whole lot of sence.

especially.........."he will screw it up" That almost goes without saying..

14. He is that stupid and panicked.

Trump is the type of person that will create an inferno, then walk away to let others deal with it. My guess if he fires Mueller and Rothstein, Trump resigns after the pressure from those firings become too intense. He will leave Pence and republicans to avoid being wiped out by us in 2018 elections.

My only hope is Trump creates so much stink before resigning that republicans can't escape massive political damage in 2018 and 2020, nor Pence avoid losing in 2020.

15. Depends on how the Courts move on his Kids and Son in Law.

My guess is,when Mitch McConnell brings his Health Care(Tax Give Away) Bill up for vote,and he gets the numbers,watch Donnie the Stupid dump Mueller and a few more. Happy Fourth of July folks.
